Scrap Around the World is a wonderful website that inspires everyone to create artistic creations. Join Scrap Around the World for their monthly challenges. I love them. I love the owner, Helen Tilbury who is such a generous creative soul in a very warm climate....

Here is the mood board and sketch to follow for the month of July's challenge.
I choose the hanging keys as my inspiration and flipped the sketch horizontally. As of late, I have been hooked on banners of any sort. I am trying to come up with more creative striking banners from the traditional, so stay tuned for more of these on my work.
Link up your work on the side tab of SATW. Here is my layout and a couple of close-ups.

I will be playing along with the BoBunnyJuly challenge as well. Hopefully we might have some bunnies visit SATW this month.
